Guest Post | Why Your To Do List Could Be a Colossal Mistake

How your to do list is your biggest mistake when it comes to having more time to yourself. So all in the space of a week Liam has broken his limb and little Lucy has decided to give herself a haircut that looks something reminiscent of Miley Cyrus in her wrecking ball film clip. Sound familiar? So with all that stress if you’re anything like most of the population you start feeling stressed and…

Women in the Workforce

As a career girl who has worked in both small business and for the public sector, I can honestly tell you that women truly have the biggest challenges in the workforce. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a man or has their head in the sand. Some employers (7.1% to be exact) have made big steps in the right direction by implementing strategies to improve female participation in the workforce and…

Creating a Kick-Arse Resume

Let’s be honest, writing or updating your resume is a pain in the arse. Not only is it painful, there are so many different templates out there that it’s hard to even know where to start sometimes! In my experience, there are three things that you need to do – BEFORE you start writing the actual resume: Review the job description of the role you are applying for and highlight the sections of the…

Why I Blog

It’s a question that I get asked – a lot. Not only by people I meet but also by people that I know too. To be fair I didn’t tell most of my inner circle about the blog until it was quite established so it did come to them as a bit of a surprise. I didn’t tell them because I wasn’t quite sure how to explain my ‘why’. I was struggling to put my passion into words that they would both understand…

The Oversized Camel Coat

There is something so chic about an oversized coat. Especially an oversized wrap style camel coat. When I first saw this one at Country Road it was love at first sight. The colour is perfect and it’s so soft on my skin. The fact that it was on sale was also a massive draw card! To balance out the bulk of the coat I’ve paired it with a pair of leather look pants/leggings and patent pointed…

How to Grow Your Hair FAST

How to Grow your Hair FAST If you don’t already know – I cut off my lovely long hair last year during the ‘lob’ or long bob trend. I loved it momentarily but regretted it immensely shortly after, and then went through a phase of having hair extensions – which are actually really high maintenance….. and no longer in my hair! So if you’re thinking about cutting your hair – READ THIS FIRST!!…
